New dialysis research update!

Professor Grazia De Angelis, Dr Maryam Zarghamidehaghani, and the team at the University of Edinburgh are working on the REDIAL project.

Awarded in 2023, their goal is to create a much smaller, wearable artificial kidney that could make dialysis easier for patients.

Using computer models and artificial intelligence (AI), the team has identified some promising new filter materials that could work well in a new, compact dialysis device.
The team are coming to the end of their three-year grant and already carried out early lab tests to see how these materials perform and are preparing their findings for publications.

These are very exciting early steps!

New blood marker can predict individuals most at risk of kidney failure.

Dr Laura Denby, and collaborators at the University of Edinburgh and Queen’s University Belfast, have discovered a new biomarker in the blood for chronic kidney disease (CKD).

This marker identified patients at a higher risk of faster chronic kidney disease progression, which in the future could be used to inform earlier interventions to help protect kidney health.
